Sue

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Date of birth: approx. 5 years old Gender: female, spayed Compatibility: second cat should be calm or a single cat Special features: very shy Sue came to us along with another cat; we know nothing about her previous history. She is very reserved and fearful. She certainly wouldn't mind having a kind, calm second cat, but it's not essential. She would probably do just fine living indoors. Children should not live in the household, as she isn't always friendly.

DE·Show original

Geburtsdatum: ca. 5 Jahre Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Verträglichkeit: 2. Katze zu etwas ruhigem oder Einzelkatze Besonderheiten: sehr scheu Sue kam mit einer weiteren Katze zu uns, über ihre Vorgeschichte können wir nichts sagen. Sie ist sehr zurückhaltend und ängstlich. Gegen eine nette ruhige Zweitkatze hätte sie sicherlich nichts einzuwenden, aber das ist kein Muss. Ihr würde vermutlich die Wohnungshaltung ausreichen. Kinder sollten nicht mit im Haushalt leben, da sie nicht immer freundlich gestimmt ist.

About Sue

What life with Sue looks like

Sue is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sue, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sue?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sue on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sue if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sue already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sue isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sue and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
